Black Ops III

With less than two weeks remaining before the release of Black Ops III, Rise Nation picked up Slacked, Classic, and rising star Octane. Loony also rejoined the team as captain. At Totino's Invitational 2015, Rise Nation would finally do something they've been trying to do for nearly two years - win an event. The team defeated both Luminosity Gaming and Team Kaliber 2-1 to set up the first meeting of the year's top two teams. OpTic Gaming had just come off of a dominating win at MLG World Finals and were looking to continue that trend but Rise had other plans. In game 5 round 11, Slacked held down the B Bombsite with two Annihilator kills and dethroned Optic. This marked the first time a team not name OpTic Gaming or FaZe Clan won a major event since 2014.

Infinite Warfare

The Infinite Warfare season for Rise Nation has had its highs and lows. The beginning of the year started off great! At the opening event of the year, MLG Vegas 2016, Rise Nation placed 1st after beating Cloud 9 in the Grand Final. In February, the squad would be traveling to Atlanta, Georgia to compete at the CWL/2017 Season/Atlanta Open event. However, this event would turn out to be less promising as Rise Nation would only place 9th-12th. Less than a week later, Loony and co would be in Paris, France at the annual Esports World Convention event. After some intense matches with organizations like FaZe Clan and OpTic Gaming, the team would place 3rd overall at the event! In March, MLG would be returning to Dallas, Texas for the MLG Dallas open tournament. Once again, this Rise Nation team did not seem on form and placed 17th-20th at the event. Although this team has had their highs and lows, they have had some great placements as well as some not so great placements.
